Reproduction

The Pacific Giant Glass Frog reproduces by the male first finding the perfect spot. Then he fights off any other males that try to take over. He waits there and calls for a female. The females comes over to the males spot and he climbs on her back. This piggyback postion is called amplexus. The male stays on her back untill she lays the eggs. 24-36 eggs can be laid at a time. The gestation period is 60 days and they can live up to 6 years. They are "r" because they produce more then 5 young and they go off not taking care of the eggs.
